graculusMarch already? How did that happen? I guess it's time for this month's still-not-dead post.
Anyway, I managed to get my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
picfor1000 story done on time, and was quite pleased with it, even if my plans for my au_bingo card before the amnesty period hit were well and truly flummoxed by my apparent inability to write alternate history for any of my fandoms. I'd written 12 stories (or at least starts of stories and I promise they will get finished at some point!) anyway, with a part-written Napoleonic era SG-1 still lurking somewhere and possibly more...
Found a bunch of old photos when I was having a clear-out, including ones of me in my 20's (rarer than hen's teeth as I hate having my photo taken) when I was both much skinnier and incredibly blonde; I remembered being the former but not the latter! Also stuff from various earlier holidays and some half-written journals accompanying those, of which I remembered some bits but not everything so that was a fun find. And yes, the clear-out is still going on; I've got a few more days annual leave to use up so that kind of excitement continues!
Book recommendation of the year so far, by the way, if it continues being as awesome as it currently is - I'm about halfway through and so far, so good - has to be The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon. It's a pleasant surprise when stuff lives up to the hype, as I'm so often disappointed in that respect.
